As President of Work Comp Staffing Solutions, the nation’s leading staffing work comp brokerage, I am often asked by clients how long work comp records need to be kept. Unfortunately, there is no one answer since the regulations are state specific. Generally, workers’ compensation injuries fall under the auspices of two organizations: the state’s workers’ comp division and the U.S. Occupational and Safety Health Administration– OSHA.
While OSHA requires a minimum of five years (with some exceptions) each state is different.

If you use a State Fund or Private Carrier Policy for your work comp program, it is critical that you report all your payroll during an audit.*
Aileen Ramirez of Quality Employment Services LLC found out the hard way about under reporting payroll during a California State audit. Ramirez under reported $2.8 million dollars of payroll over 2 years resulting in a loss to the State Fund of $525,253.58 in insurance premiums. She was charged as a felon and had to reimburse the State for that amount. She received 3 years probation and is now a felon.
*Employers of Record (EOR’s) and Professional Employer Organizations (PEO’s) do not perform audits, since they are “pay as you go” programs.

The good news is that statistically, work environments in the US are getting safer. Between 2010 and 2017 according to the BLS, there were 15% fewer non-fatal work related injuries per year.
Here are some activities that you can do together with your client to help ensure a safe work environment for your temporary associates and build a further bond with your clients.
- Help your clients communicate their safety expectations to their employees by assisting them to organize safety meetings, post safety signs around machinery, and make sure all employees have the right training for their jobs.
- Make sure the client is using machines that have been inspected and are in 100% top quality working order.
- Help your client establish safety guidelines and objectives for all the employees and temporary staff at their facility.
- Encourage your clients to clearly state the employees rewards (and consequences) to maintaining a safe work environment.
- Regularly brainstorm with your client how best to highlight safety programs in the facility.
These are just a few suggestions that can help cement your relationship with your clients.
